I am currently running a Hagen Glo T5 HO light with some moon LEDs on my tank :-). But like the average aquarium enthusiast, I want more. I have been scoping out my best options for my 55 Gal and have come across this model on a well known bidding site. Like any large investment, I am in need of some opinions. What are your thoughts?

Dimensions: 48'' X 12.5'' X 2.25''
Color: Black
Features included:
2 X 150 HQI Metal Halide
2X 54 Watt T5 HO
Moonlights
+ 2 Large bright clusters of Lunar lights (15 – 1 watt leds in each cluster)
2-15k Metal Halide bulb included!
2- 54 watt Super Actinic T5 HO bulbs included!
Unit comes with 2 Chords and 3 switches so you can independently control the metal halide and T5 and LED moonlights separately for the dawn and dusk effect with timers.
Unit comes with modifiable 5'' Tall Leg Brackets to keep safe distance from the water in your aquarium.
Unit also comes with the optional hanging brackets – so if you would like to hang this light from your ceiling you can.
UV shield included over metal halide HQI bulb to prevent harmful UV Rays from entering tank.

Reflectors:
The T5 reflectors are curved German polished Aluminum for the maximum amount of reflectivity. These special reflectors more than double the output of the bulbs. The German polished Aluminum spider reflector is located behind the metal halide to evenly scatter light through aquarium and maximize the brightness. Again, the UV shield is included to prevent harmful UV rays from entering the tank.
